Well, around 10:30 last night, a tornado hit my workplace. There were about 10 of us in a room in the center of the building watching the weather report on the internet. The power goes out. Then one of the guys looked out a small window on the door to the room and freaks out and runs to the other side of the room and gets down on the floor. I work at a large aircraft machine shop. He said he saw a dust cloud at the south end of the building. It sounds like it's hailing softballs and the ground, which is solid concrete and shouldn't be vibrating, starts shaking. It gets real loud.

We got really fortunate, as the tornado didn't directly hit our building. The company owns many buildings, and 3 directly behind our building got destroyed. It blew in 2 garage doors in in our building, and ripped some sheet metal panels off the outside but for the most part our building is okay.

All the reports said no one was killed or injured so that's good. I don't know what the company is going to do now. The complex is a mess. I'm glad I was asked to work this weekend!
